Ordinary People

An intense ride of a novel that follows the trajectory of a relationship—from those dazzling days at the dawn of a beautiful new love through the messiness of life and the creating of two children. Melissa and Michael (or M&M to their friends) are beat up by the stresses of work, child-rearing, and life in general. Melissa is dealing with the cold truth that her career at Vogue is securely in the rear view mirror. She’s also coming to terms with the anger and frustration of her (possibly) haunted house and a husband who loves her but is no stranger to transgressions. Is it possible to hang on to the magic? Are they fated to be with each other after all? This book is a gripping, raw, and honest look at a relationship facing mid-life.
